Endless Paradigm

Ever wondered why your 2gb or 1gb memory sticks, don't actually have 2gb or 1gb of free space on them? This is normal. But you can get more by formatting in fat, not fat 32. How do you do this, you ask? Here is a simple guide on how to get some more space on your memory stick:

1. Put all of your PSP files into a folder on your computer. Save them so that after you format, you can put the files back on.
2. Connect your PSP to your computer.
3. Go to My Computer.
4. Right click on Removable Disk.(Drive letter here)
5. Click on format.
6. Under file system, select FAT and not FAT32.
7. Click on start, wait until the formatting is finished, and then put the files back onto your PSP.

You should now have more free space on your memory stick!

This will not necessarily give you a lot more free space, but you might get some. It does depend on what is on your memory stick.

doesn't it have to do something with cluster size? if you have large files you're better off with large clusters (for speed), but small files take up a whole cluster so if you have lots of small files you need a small cluster size, because a file takes up at least 1 cluster, not half a cluster.
so if you have 4kb clusters and you have a 50 byte file, it will say 'size on disk: 4kb'.

but i don't think you can change cluster sizes on a memory stick, can you ?

Does that really increase the space on memory stick, I have never tried that. :)

It does not work i have tried it on my stick. You can't free up that memory that is just the way memory is made.

well it aint making much of a difference

Same here :rofl:

Like i said it is not possible. The memory is made causes it to have that amount of memory used and you can not fix that.

coty
it makes the files smaller
so you have to format it wehn there is space on your mem stick

bump!

Format your memory stick = loads of space!
